CX838, anything to see out of the windows?
I have reserved window seats on the right side of the plane. Should I move to the left side? Will there be anything to see out of the window?

Here's a cool little website I found, maps your flight against the movement of the sun. Just plug in the from/to/duration and departure times and it draws a flight map and gives % daytime/nighttime. For the most day light it's saying left side is better...

Left side you'll also typically encounter better service since it's manned by the SP on the 77G

The left side main cabin is already full. Is it advisable to seat in the rear mini cabin?

I always prefer the window seats of the mini cabin. Some people complain about being claustrophobic though, so YMMV.

The 77G's mini cabin isn't that "mini", at least compared to the 77H/35G. I wouldn't call it claustrophobic at all. The only real downside is the PEY pax using the lav.
